Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair. . . . I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are.
Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't wait for answers... Just take your chances!Don't ask me why.
